Does ATP contain ribose?

yes ADP contain one ribose sugar and two phosphate grp


What can a molecule of ADP be compared to?

Adenosine diphosphate, abbreviated ADP, is a nucleoside diphosphate. It is an ester ofpyrophosphoric acid with the nucleoside adenosine. ADP consists of the pyrophosphategroup, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase adenine.ADP is the product of ATP dephosphorylation by ATPases. ADP is converted back to ATP by ATP synthases. ATP is an important energy transfer molecule in cells.So simple answer is: ADP can be compared to ATP.


Is ADP a nucleotide?

Yes, ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is a nucleotide. It consists of an adenine base, a ribose sugar, and two phosphate groups. ADP plays a crucial role in cellular energy transfer, serving as a precursor to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary energy currency of the cell.


Does ATP contain the sugar glucose?

No. ATP contains the pentose (five-carbon sugar) ribose.ATP has the structure:adenine - ribose - phosphate - phosphate - phosphateWith two phosphate groups, it would be ADP. With only one phosphate, it would be AMP, which is one of the nucleotides occurring in RNA.


What happens to energy when ATP becomes ADP?

In ATP molecule Adenine is attached to Ribose sugar to which three phosphate molecules are attached. They are high 'energy' bonds formed during biological oxidation of glucose molecule. From ADP you get the ATP molecule. When body needs energy, this ATP is turned into ADP and 'energy' is released. Which is used for various metabolic processes. ADP can turn into AMP in emergency.
